I believe Aisha is wrong because its rounding to the nearest hundred, not to the nearest thousandth

For rounding, you look at the number to the right of it.

In this case, it would be 7

because 7 is greater than 5, it is rounded up (remember, 5 and up is round up, while 4 and lower is round down)
So her answer should be 1300

hope this helps
